UMD GEM Fellows and GEM Alumni Association

The mission of The National GEM Consortium is to enhance the value of the nation’s human capital by increasing the participation of underrepresented groups (African Americans, American Indians, and Hispanic Americans) at the master’s and doctoral levels in engineering and science.

The University of Maryland, in partnership with graduate STEM programs, The Office of Graduate Diversity and Inclusion (OGDI), and The Graduate School, is one of the 120+ GEM institutional members. OGDI works closely with UMD programs to recruit GEM scholars into graduate programs.  

Once GEM Fellows enroll, they are invited to participate in National GEM Consortium activities and university-level activities. Programming for GEM Fellows include enrichment/community building, networking, professional & career development, and National GEM Consortium guest speakers.
